Top 50 DJ Tips

From song selection to handling the crowd — no one teaches you the real stuff.

Let’s dive in 👇

1. 🎶 Your song selection should feel like a story, not just random hits. 🔥
2. 😎 Be cool even if you make a mistake — panic only makes it worse.
3. 🔁 Use loops if you're not confident about the track.
4. 🎚️ Basic beatmatching is still a superpower — learn it. 🔥
5. 🌫️ Use echo out + filter for a smooth fadeout. Classy move. 🔥

7. 🧠 Save your best track for the right time — it also boosts your confidence silently. 🔥
8. 💸 Always take advance when confirming a show.
9. ✋ Never leave without full payment. You played, you earn. 🔥
10. 🔌 Carry backup: wires, pen drive, laptop, even an extra smile.
11. 🤝 Make friends with other DJs — you’ll learn and grow faster.
12. 🚫 Don’t play the main banger if you’re the opening DJ. Respect the lineup. 🔥

22. 🧵 Avoid cheap cables. One pop and your vibe is gone.

25. 🍔 Don’t eat or drink heavy before playing. Trust your stomach.
26. ❌ One bad event doesn’t mean you're a bad DJ.

28. 🚫 Know your songs — remove X-rated stuff if you don't want awkward moments.

45. 🦻 Use earplugs during long sets — protect your ears, protect your future. 🔥
